where They Use Stills.

1t is in the large plains, called ''Lian-
dees, - in southwest France, that the peo-
pie use stills as matter of course. These
plains are generally flooded, though not
to sufficient depth to enable people to
get about in boats. The stills are held
in the hand Ike those we are accustomed
to see, but are firmly strapped to the side
of the leg. The person wearing them
carries long pole to balance himself and
aid him in walking. The pole has usually
a cross piece at one end, so that by put
ting it at slant on the ground behind
him the person on stills can sit down on
it and rest. 1t isl common occurrence
in that country to see men and women
sitting and knitting in this exalted po-
sition, while the sheep they are tending
wander arN1,lt the plain. Thep wear
their stills all day long, putting them on
when they go olt in the morning and
taking them Off only when they return
home at night. Philadelphia Call
